The weirdest part here is the idea that Ukraine could ever become a part of NATO in the first place.

Is every single person in the Zelensky regime so utterly incompetent that they genuinely believed that would actually happen while they were in a civil war between 2014 and 2022, not to mention now when they are in an all out war with a literal nuclear power? I very much doubt that.

Something doesn't add up here.

It is a weird way to backdoor discussion of ceding territory into it imo

Come on mate the answer to that is in literally the first sentence of the article.

"...[Jenssen] said publicly that Ukraine could give up territory to Russia in exchange for Nato membership and an end to the war."

If it's part of a peace deal to end the war, they're not at war any more when Ukraine joins NATO.
